Yurts, y'all.

If it weren't practically a nonsense word to begin with, it is now. Oh, EK, how much weirder can you get?

Re: Yurts, y'all.

  • I love yurts. For vacation.

    We went here for part of our honeymoon: http://www.treebonesresort.com/

    And the folks that own it live on site. Yes, in a yurt, but a hell of a lot different then the yurt EK is thinking.

  • Jojo, living in a Yurt in Big Sur is a little different than living in one in Maine.
  • inregurdless, it will be a filthy yurt.

  • Oh no, I completely agree TT. the owners yurt is more house like than yurt like. And knowing EK, she will go for the vacation like yurt that absolutely requires a fireplace to keep it warm in California, I can't imagine it in Maine.

  • I totally want to go there now Jojo. That and this place http://www.elcapitancanyon.com/

    But, yeah, for a vacation. Or maybe even a temporary one as a vacation type home thing, for camping purposes, but not for all the time. Does a dirty crockpot even fit in there? How will she malnourish her family?

  • L, I LOVE it up there. My husband loves it for the do it yourself waffles in the morning for breakfast too. It is incredibly peaceful. No emails, cells phones, tv, nothing. It leads to a lot of bcbc actually.

    I want to go back later this year after graduation, I need the break from everything.

  • PEOPLE.  the topic at hand is ek and her yurt love.  please stay on topic.

    this is like the tiny house and mobile home issue -- does she not realize that she will need electricity and running water?

    i swear, she should just apply to be on "1600 house" and just live in the lap of luxury there.

  • HMo, I asked legitimate and EK related questions after professing my love for the yurt vacation.

  • She doesn't think these things through at all. She is enamored with the idea of packing up and moving in a 24 period. Sure, the yurt can do that, but even the one I stayed in had a sink, running water and electric lights. the amount of light that can get in during the day is decent depending on tree overhang, etc.

    Andplusalso somehow she is going to home school her bevy of snot nosed rug rats by candle light when necessary? I doubt. Although she would likely be a fabulous martyr for the cause of prairie like living.

  • How many Yurts will she need to give 10+ kids the room they need?
  • I want to know how she is going to get all the bunk beds in. Round walls and square beds mean a lot of wasted space. I assume she'll fill it with Rubbermaid storage contaners.

  • And "bookshelves" filled with Star Wars stuff so the husband can continue to make assinine arguments about the Bible.

  • meh. It doesn't matter what the fluff she posts, someone would have a problem with it. It's getting old. She didn't even say that she was 100% yurt-ho, just that she had to provide a book review.

    Oh, come on, they don't need space!

    She seems to think they're stackable.
